IMPROVEMENT IN GATES.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, HENRY P. HASKIN, of Roscoe, of Winnebago county, in the State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in the Mode of Operating a Gate or Gates; and I hereby declare the following description and accompanying drawings are sufficient to enable any person'skilled in the art or science to which it most nearly appertains, to make and use my said invention or improvements,

without further invention'orexperiment.

The nature of my invention andimprovements consists in the'cmployment of the device, hereinafter de-,

scribed, and shown in the accompanying drawings, for the purpose of operating a double gate.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the gate complete; Figure 2 is an end section thereof; Figure 3 is a top view, with the cover, R, removed;

- and Figure 4 is a vertical longitudinal section of the same.

In the drawings- A A represent the main frame of the gate standing transversely to the roadway.

R, the top and sides of the said main frame of the gate.

K, the ends.

E E are operating-posts on either side-approach to the gate, to which 'is secured vthe shaft 11, carrying the pinion D and cranks d d.

a a are sections of fence rigidly fixed to the gate frame A A;

attached'to the upper front corner of the left gate,

the right half of the same. Being thus arranged, the operation in opening is simple and easy, to wit:

By turning the cranks d d from left to right, the gate is opened, and closed by reversing the operation of said cranks, but in operating the gates from inside-approach, the direction of the cranks must be exactly reversed to either open or close.-

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

chain JJ, in combination with the rack O and D, shaft (2 and cranks cl (3.

2. The inverted guide-track a a, when the whole is constructed and arranged substantially as herein set forth to operate as specified. v
